Aside from all the rest, which is rather poor. Look at the THD numbers, they're completely unreasonable. Just nasty.

Dagothur, it's just i was expecting some sort of magic when i pay 1300$ and the magic wasn't there,it was like listening to the regular 80$ headphone like Grado 60 for me.I was expecting much more for this amount of money, such as position of instruments, closeness of vocals,being on stage with the musicians but what i got is the same feeling i get in a car when listen to the regular fm radio on a stock radio.Sorry for putting it in a simple and not technical terms.

Never had that feeling even after paying 1100$ for 7000.Now i'm 1300$ richer again and  couldn't be happier with the old set-up as it is.The quest for a perfect pair never ends but as much as i remember with denon ah-d7000 i would jump from the chair at 4a.m and dance like i'm at concert or in a club.It never happened for 2 weeks owing 7100.Maybe i could save some money for some of you wondering

Were you seriously expecting the 7100 to be better? Like everywhere I look on it points to it being inferior to the 7k. And of course the innferfidelity graphs are out now. Though my just looking at the new Denon line, it's obvious they are going for everything but improving the sound IMO; I don't think Fostex even designs for them anymore.

No reason to wait, get the Fostex TH900. It's what the D7000 successor should have been all along.

I wonder if there will be a D8000, as an advance on the D7000. Think I'll wait for that.
